i'm running into the following situation with a local debian package...
i wanted to use mutt w/ssl, so i ran
apt-get source mutt
and edited the mutt-1.2.5/debian/rules file to enable ssl.
apt-get source --compile mutt ; dpkg -i mutt_1.2.5-4_sparc.deb
worked and the deb installed; everything is happy.
then an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade tried to upgrade mutt (?)
is this the normal behavior? i would've thought that since the version
is the same, apt-get would not try to upgrade the package. i've tried
a few searches, but my search terms are pretty vague.
what is the preferred method of resolving this? place a hold on the
local package?
tia...
